The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development says a slowdown in state job growth is no reason for concerns.
The U-S Department of Labor reports growth of 9,300 jobs in the Badger state when comparing 2019 to last year. That jobs number was 27,000.
.The state agency’s chief economist, Dennis Winters, says a key reason for the slowdown is that Wisconsin’s unemployment rate remains low at three-point-three percent.
That means there aren’t nearly as many people looking for a job.
